Been Gone a Long Time

I totally did not realize that I have not been here in so long. I knew I have been busy but geeze. I have been on a break from school but I have a ton of stuff on my mind.

Last year the President of our organization left. Last year the position was filled on a temporary basis but this year the permanent guy is in place. Unfortunately the guy that left also took the V.P. from my dept, Tech. Services. My immediate boss (a Director) had to cover that role for a few months. Two weeks ago we got our new V.P. so our director is back on the job but the complete change in management has me thinking about the multiple ways theses changes could play out for me.

In the meantime, in addition to working as a programmer analyst (full time), I am a full time student. I have been thinking hard about school. I am scheduled for 9 online credits starting at the end of March. In April, I pickup 2 more credits in weekend courses. I really wasn't to concerned about this because I have gotten all A's in my classes so far but I took a class in interm (2 credits in 9 days) and only pulled a C... I was devestated. I am doubting my ability to do well if I attempt to carry all 11 credits for Spring Term.

On top of that, I want to work really hard in my job so that I can be ready for any opportunities that come my way with once my degree is complete (July) or changes to the organization because of the change in management. It is especially important now because of any changes that come with the new management team. Of course one of the reasons I wanted the position I am in right now is to learn the new technical skills I am exposed to, so that means I am studying the technical skills I don't have at work.

Thank God for my family! Thank God for the opportunities that I have been given! Lord help lead me in the direction you would have me go. Please bless me with peace about the journey.
